Hormonal aspects of skin hyperpigmentation in healthy Kurdish primigravida women in Erbil City
The present study aimed to determine some hormonal and biochemical aspects of skin pigmentation in pregnant women. The longitudinal study included forty-three healthy volunteers; ages ranged between 16-28 years, monitored from the beginning of gestation to delivery of birth. Then, women were...
